D’oh! A BIG slap on my forehead is called for, Julien. I didn’t catch that, thought you wrote a lovely poem. That makes your comment not only generous but extra clever. Thank you.

Hope you noticed the “Merry Christmas” written vertically with the first letter of each line (that explains the strange layout of my comment)!)! And if you didn’t, at least now you do! 😉
Thanks for your kind words, Elyse.

Merci, Julien! Hope you had a joyeux Noel. You are much too kind. I like Alanis but don’t know that song so thank you for sharing it.

That’s a great idea, Christine. I think I’ll print this out and keep it with the card. Thank you.

What a wonderful memory! Thanks so much for sharing it. You should write that down and keep it with the card for safekeeping.

Happy New Year!

Man, what a touching
Extraordinary story, thanks for sharing! It’s so
Rare to see people giving without waiting for anything in
Return, as kind and generous as the three of
You! I love how these simple acts of pure kindness can

Create magic encounters and links. I’ve sometimes been
Had when acting this way, but I guess that is the
Risk of it… Yet
I still
Strongly believe
That giving is a blessing! This reminds
Me of beautiful lyrics written by talented
Alanis Morissette. The
Song is called “You owe me nothing in return”.

“You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give,
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have,
I give you thanks for receiving, it’s my privilege,
And you owe me nothing in return.”

I wish you a wonderful Christmas, PCN!

You were the cop reviewing the case? Now, I’m even MORE interested!

I shall await your announcement about when your book is coming out.

The case has intrigued me since I was a child, when my armchair detective grandmother told me about it. I grew up to become a cop and work in the area where the victim lived and worked. This just scratches the surface of fate that led me to review this case. I have my theory, which I explain in the book, but I leave it up to the reader to decide. It’s a bombshell! You’re so kind to ask — I will let you know when it comes out, as soon as I get an agent to represent me, and find a publisher! I’m almost done with the ms; I’m currently restructuring the material.
Thanks so much!

Haha! I have no songwriting abilities so you should write it! And if it does become bigger than “Christmas Shoes,” just send me half the royalties and a year’s supply of See’s Candies.
